FYI on Introducing the Internet--
A Short Bibliography of Introductory Internetworking Readings
for the Network Novice

Status of this Memo

This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
not specify an Internet standard. Distribution of this memo is
unlimited.

Abstract

This bibliography offers a short list of recent information resources
that will help the network novice become familiar with the Internet,
including its associated networks, resources, protocols, and history.
This FYI RFC includes references to free sources of information
available on-line as well as traditional publications. A short
section at the end includes information for accessing the on-line
files. This FYI is intentionally brief so it can be easily used as a
handout by user services personnel.

Acknowledgments

This document is based upon the work of the User Documents Working
Group in the User Services Area of the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF).

Bibliography of Introductory Readings

The following list includes a number of sources for learning about
the Internet. If you have more questions about the Internet, the
best source of information is your network service provider. For
those interested in finding out about getting Internet connectivity,
the books listed will help you locate a network service provider.
